Abstract

In recent decades, the incorporation of principles and aspects related to sustainable development in business processes, activities and functions, as well as their business management systems and models integration, have become more frequent. This research proposes a methodology for the contribution to organizations sustainability from strategic management. The methodology implementation allows diagnosing and designing the strategic course for sustainability, prioritizing and classifying relevant processes, designing ethics and regulatory compliance programs based on shared risks and values, contributing to the improvement of the level of sustainability. The results show a tendency to increase the level of sustainability in this specific organization, as well as an improvement in the behavior of the critical success factors and indicators when comparing the values ​​of the initial period with respect to the third period evaluated. In the case of the organization dimensions,  , the economic one is the most evaluated option; however, the results of the social and ecological dimensions present a less favorable situation, so that future research should be directed to analyze these dimensions and  make this research widespread to other organizations.
